Bret Michaels to perform at Detroit Grand Prix

Rocker Bret Michaels will perform on Saturday, June 1 at the Chevrolet Belle Isle Grand Prix, promoters announced today.

Michaels, formerly of the band Poison before launching a solo career, is also a reality television show personality who has appeared on “Celebrity Apprentice” and “Rock of Love.” His next reality show, “Bret Michaels Rock My RV,” comes to the Travel Channel in May.

He is the first of several entertainers who will take the stage during the race weekend on the MotorCity Casino Hotel Entertainment stage.

Bud Denker, chairman of the Chevrolet Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix, said Michaels’ concert will be a perfect way to cap the June 1 action as it moves from the race track to the rocks stage.

“With all of that terrific racing action and Bret Michaels in concert, Saturday is going to be one incredible day at the Chevrolet Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix,” Denker said in a statement.

Additional musical acts will be announced in the upcoming weeks, organizers added.

The Chevrolet Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix will be held May 31-June 2. For more information visit www.DetroitGP.com or call 866-464-7749.
